Can someone explain why I'm seeing ads for Texas political races on a Chicago television station? What possible benefit can there be to advertising to a national audience about Texas elections? How does this help them?
In honor of Marjoe Gortner's passing, I finally got around to watching the documentary about him. boxd.it/gD1sSr
A ★★★★ review of Marjoe (1972)
It's hard to contextualize this film, given what common knowledge it is today, outside of Evangelical circles, that the entire movement is a hollow cash grab. Given the reaction at the time, this had ...

boxd.it/gyGo7X Rated R for spooky zombies and light-hearted, slapstick, violence. Watch it with the whole family!
A ★★★★ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Amazing what you can do when you have something to say, a story to tell, in genre fiction. It's not just killing zombies for the sake of killing them, or the same generic rehash of people turning on e...

D&D players were arguing with TSR over who got to define their game 40 years ago. One player threatened to stop buying AD&D. Another said, “If you can't use it, don't buy it.” But another response got to the heart of it: “my campaign.” Watch my latest video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv8o...
China is like a hungry young fighter gearing up to take on an aging champ. It was going to be tough, but they would probably win out. Then the aging champ injected heroin into his dick, plucked out an eyeball, and stuck his arm in a meat grinder. China: "OH... never mind this is going to be easy."
Diesel is pushing $7/g ($1.85/l) where I live. I saw a new-ish Ford diesel truck hauling ass on the expressway, gunning it, and passing cars like a maniac. Driving like that, I bet he's getting 15mpg (16 l/100km). And I bet he bitches up a storm about gas prices. We are a doomed society.
Feel like the median Democratic Party voter probably agrees with Hasan Piker that the U.S. has caused more death than Al Qaeda. Probably the median Republican voter does too (they think it's good). How long is the corporate media just going to keep pushing the old, busted 9/11 button?
The greatest culture shock moment of my life came from my first trip to Finland in 2005, when I learned they not only are aware of the Police Academy franchise, but they LOVE those movies. So much great art is produced by the United States, and yet that's what they chose to latch on to.
With the Godzilla Minus Zero trailer released, it's a good time to remind everyone that I am working on the sequel to the next Monsterverse Godzilla movie. armchairscreenwriter.com/2024/05/01/s...
Sequel to the Sequel of Godzilla x Kong: Movie Pitch
The sequel to the sequel we’re all waiting for. The return of the ORIGINAL son of Godzilla.

If you played D&D around 1980, were Basic D&D and AD&D really two separate games? TSR's answer changed over time. That made me think about what players were actually doing at their own tables. My full video is now live: youtu.be/f30hIRvPqoI
A huge thanks for sharing all your memories & experiences here! Your responses affected the final video, as they made me consider things I hadn't really thought about. If you want to see how your comments affected the video, you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f30h...

I've worked for a lot of companies. My current employer is the first one that random people not only instantly recognize, but respond positively to. In the past it was always: They had no idea what it was, but then thought it was cool. They knew what it was, and recognized it was a shitty place.
If you played D&D in the ’70s or ’80s, I need your help with some research! What version did you say you were playing, and what rules were you actually using? Did you mix OD&D, Basic and AD&D rules/material? What year was this? Tell me what you remember!
Mark your calendars. The 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter is happening on Saturday, October 10.

What is AI psychosis? Clinicians are increasingly using the term to describe cases where people develop or strengthen psychotic symptoms, especially delusions, after prolonged use of AI chatbots. With increasing use of chatbots for therapy or "companions," what does this mean? youtu.be/lt6SnAxRopQ

I love the American tendency to identify as a culture their ancestors emigrated away from 125+ years ago. My dude, there have been world wars, civil wars, revolutions, and a pan-continental union since your great-great-granddad fled Ireland to avoid jail time for pederasty. YOU are not Irish.
We are the Uruk-hai: we do not stop the fight for night or day, for fair weather or for storm. We come to kill, by sun or moon. What of the dawn?
Ted Lasso S4 is what you get when people don't actually understand the topic/issues they are writing about. Their default seems to be: "all men are openly hostile to the notion of women playing sports". As someone who has followed women's soccer/football very closely for 15 years... 1️⃣/3️⃣
Gamers usually associate D&D character builds with feats, multiclassing, and 3E. But by 1985, players could already make advancement choices based on what they wanted their characters to become later. So when did character builds actually begin? Check out my latest deep-dive: youtu.be/Yxs0zbYtHLs
When I think of Will Sloan, and I DO think of him, often, a few semi-obscure/forgotten celebrity names come to mind. Near the top of that list is Sammy Petrillo. The fact that someone other than Will wrote a book about him is, frankly, kinda shocking.
Will Sloan@willsloanesq.bsky.social · last mo.I was thrilled to get an early copy of this new biography of the notorious Jerry Lewis impersonator Sammy Petrillo and it's great. I laughed, I cried. A melancholy portrait of a life on the bottom-rung of show business. Check it: feralhouse.com/product/your...
Indiana taxpayers will pay to build a stadium for a bunch of IL billionaires. IN will be in debt for decades to come. Will the Chicago Bears at least rename? "No, we still want to be associated with the better city and state just over the border. Thanks, suckers!" Take that, Illinois libs!!!

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans
Third Edition was once the new D&D. Now it’s 26 years old, and some players who embraced it later came to see 3.5 as the last version that still felt like D&D. So what actually makes D&D “old school”? My newest video: youtu.be/zgwb8m5V8L0 #DnD #OSR
